    I think I can hear the portrait on that coin speak. Wow.

    Could've sworn I saw the eye blink.

    0680small.jpg This has long been one of my favourite types, ever since I started buying ancients. We were recently fortunate enough to get this coin, which the photo really doesn't do justice to. The detail on the chariot and the horses in particular really struck me (no pun intended)...
    I debated with myself over whether to upload this or not, but on the basis that I always love to see great coins, I hope someone else gets some enjoyment from it as well.

    Alegandron "ΤΩΙ ΚΡΑΤΙΣΤΩΙ..." ΜΕΓΑΣ ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΣ, June 323 BCE

    Gorgeous coin. He would possibly been one of the more worthy Emperors had he survived.
